Various members of my family stay at The Whitney each year in May for a family celebration. It is a convenient location for us as some of our family lives in Shandon and we can walk back and forth between family houses and the hotel. The rooms are spacious and having a full kitchen and washer/dryer is a real plus.... More

It's a nice property in a great location. It needs major renovations from carpet to mattresses. We had a guest that didn't check in this past Thanksgiving due to its worn appearance. I thought it was okay, we used the limo service which is severely underpriced, but we appreciate any break in price. It served our purposes, a family get... More

Reading all the reviews, it appears that the Whitney has taken the negative reviiews of a few years ago to heart. The "much improved" Whitney is worth a second visit if you had a bad stay a few years ago. Yes, the furniture is still a little outdated, but the hotel is clean and comfortable. Convenient location and rate is... More

I was there for a Fort Jackson graduation. It was a comfortable hotel, worth the rate for the 2 bdrm suite, with 2full baths, full kitchen and living room, less then most regular 2dble bed room hotels. It was clean accomedations as well, not luxury and not advertised as such either. I found the bad reviews to be excessive and... More

First of all let me say I stayed there just short of a year. So I think I know everything there is about this hotel. These people here are the best of the best. It wasn't perfect but it was pretty close. Elaine who runs the front desk is awesome!! She is as sweet as she can be and is... More

Don't understand the drive by shootings comment. One of the nicest parts of town. Very quiet. Stayed three nights on the first floor. Good breakfast, good maid service, clean and quiet rooms. Maybe theirs another "Whitney" getting confused with this one. Had a washer and dryer, full kitchen stayed for three nights for our son's graduation from Fort Jackson BCT.... More

On 06-28-2011 I was visiting Columbia for a Basic Training Graduation at Ft. Jackson, my family and I were looking forward to staying at a nice hotel after our drive from Texas. Every review we read online each person had given the hotel a 5 star rating but I would have compared the hotel to Section 8 housing. I am... More

I booked this without reading reviews first. Needless to say, when I went back to read reviews it made me a little nervous. Talk of dirty floors and nasty sheets, broken glass, etc scared me because I was traveling with two small children, one of whom is crawling everywhere. When I went to check-in, the lady at the desk could... More

The worst hotel I've stayed at possibly ever! Ranks up there in filthiness with a motel 6 right off of 77 in Charlotte I stayed at years ago. I can't believe that DHEC hasn't condemned this place yet. I had a similar experience as many of the previous reviewers but unfortunately I didn't check tripadvisor prior to my recent stay... More
